Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

To study the main clinical characteristics of pain in pregnant women with lumbosacral transitional vertebrae.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Orthopedic examination and analysis of medical documentation were carried out in 46 (100.0%) pregnant and postpartum women experiencing lumbosacral pain associated with lumbosacral transitional vertebrae. Mean age of subjects was 32.5±1.7 years. Types and subtypes of abnormal vertebrae were established in accordance with Castellvi classification.

RESULTS

We estimated the following characteristics of vertebrogenic pain: localization, nature, intensity, irradiation, duration, causes of intensification and effectiveness of treatment. There was lumbosacral pain in 100.0% (46/46) of cases. Chronic pain was observed in 82.6% (38/46) of women. Mean VAS score of syndrome was 7.4 points. Irradiation of pain to one of the lower extremities was noted by 54.3% (25/46) of pregnant women. In 58.7% (27/46) of patients, onset of pain was associated with pregnancy. The most possible causes of pain were hormonal changes and lumbar hyperlordosis following gravity of pregnant uterus. Treatment of pain included orthopedic placements, post-isometric muscle relaxation, mobilization of pelvic joints, prenatal bandages and trochanteric belts, prevention of osteopenic syndrome and normalization of psycho-emotional sphere. Non-drug therapy reduced intensity of pain in 73.9% (34/46) of pregnant women.

CONCLUSION

We obtained information about the main clinical characteristics of pain in pregnant women with lumbosacral transitional vertebrae.
